Abstract

Transoral excision of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors has increased in popularity along with the increased use of robotic and endoscopic surgical technology. Here, the authors highlight the indications, techniques, outcomes, and complications of transoral approaches to PPS tumors, with a special emphasis on salivary tumors of the PPS and the transoral robotic surgery approach.
